I dunno Zedder, we seem to have an unbridled passion for becoming a nanny state.

Maybe .. to me it's more like requiring Muslim women NOT to wear a burqua or other head covering. The law forces them violate their religious code ...

I agree but it's good to horse around.

No the Kiwi way is "If it looks fun or exciting... BAN IT!" This doesn't look either really

Or increase the ACC levy hugely plus stick a safety levy on it.

But only after Government makes loads of money off it.

[Swoop]

That's the problem with the Amish... a pathetic power-to weight ratio.
One horsepower?

Twist the wrist and gone-burger on any proper transportation system!

Well that goes without saying lol

[puddytat]

But only after Government makes loads of money off it.

Or like NZ, deny its largest city the funds to build a public transport system,then when it fails use the draconian laws it passes late at night to step in & takeover from the democratically elected representatives....a bit like ECAN & the Canterbury earthquake laws:yes::tugger::motu:

[Banditbandit]

So? What makes religious made up stuff more important than state made up stuff?

Simple really ...

For State made up stuff you are answerable in this life time .. (do what we say or go to jail) For Religious stuff people believe they are answerable to a higher authority FOR EVER ... (Do what I say or burn in hell for eternity ...)

Faced with the alternatives of jail (state punishment) or Hell (God's punishment) believers will take jail every time .... 'cause then they'll go to heaven ..

That makes religious stuff more important for believers ...

The fact that it was started by rastusthecat gave me a hint. I actually think rtc stands for roadside traffic cop.
